Great rhombic triacontahedron
In geometry, the great rhombic triacontahedron is a nonconvex isohedral, isotoxal polyhedron. It is the dual of the great icosidodecahedron. Like the convex rhombic triacontahedron it has 30 rhombic faces, 60 edges and 32 vertices.
It can be constructed from the convex solid by expanding the faces by factor of, where is the golden ratio.
This solid is to the compound of great icosahedron and great stellated dodecahedron what the convex one is to the compound of dodecahedron and icosahedron:
The crossing edges in the dual compound are the diagonals of the rhombs.
What resembles an "excavated" rhombic triacontahedron can be seen within the middle of this compound. The rest of the polyhedron strikingly resembles a rhombic hexecontahedron.
The rhombs have two angles of, and two of. Its dihedral angles equal. Part of each rhomb lies inside the solid, hence is invisible in solid models. The ratio between the lengths of the long and short diagonal of the rhombs equals the golden ratio.
